The Art of Appreciating

What is the specific process by which artists are selected and evaluated for art awards, or for evaluation and awarding at art colleges, exhibitions or other projects? What relevance or "objectivity" do such selection and evaluation hold? The exhibition, research and participatory project The Art of Appreciation aims to uncover some of the historical and contemporary mechanisms behind art awards and other valuation systems, while at the same time becoming a guide, discussion platform or even an arena for the search for alternatives.
